Eddie Gomez talks about Bill Evans

I'M SORRY IT GOT CUT OFF JUST AS HE WAS ABOUT TO ANSWER MY QUESTION! my phone ran out of memory so it stopped recording by itself.
this is what he says at the end of that clip.
"Turn Out The Stars"
"Time Remembered,"
"My Man's Gone,"

Bill Evans + Eddie Gomez = Symbiosis. Thanks for this post.

[@pauls4742]

Great to hear Eddie's comments !

[@piotr8853]

what was that tune

[@jeffreyalexander7504]

Is that Kevin Harris on piano?

[@MuggendeVlieg]

Is it just me or has the sound disappeared over the years? Can't hear a thing, and it's certainly not my audio here since other vids play just fine (and I found that out the hard way: beelding ears from Mother Sky blasting through my speakers just now...).

Scott long since gone....Paul a few years ago ....Eddie is the last tangible link.

Coming soon to you on the next episode: Martin Taylor talks about Eddie Gomez ;)

[@noahvale939]

There's the potential for a lot of interest here, but it never happens, or, if it happened at some point, I sure couldn't hear it.

Bu-bye

[@andreasfriedli7419]

Louder please! I do not understand...

[@valoferriband]

Que genial seria que alguien le haga una entrevista en castellano hablando de Bill Evans.

[@robertparmenter]

Try turning up the volume?

[@luismcdougal2877]

Yoooo Kevin Harris in piano is the man!

Eddie Gomez talks about Eddie Gomez

[@thelonious-dx9vi]

It seems odd that he does not mention LaFaro in discussing this topic. Granted, it does cut off in the middle. But he talks about how he came to join Bill; and he specifically talks about individuality, not being a clone, etc. And that chair, in Bill's trio, was very much shaped by Scott. Seems strange that, in all of that, no mention of Scott.

[@malchristie]

Why would Eddie mention Scott LaFaro? He joined Bill 5 years after Scott's death. It was Bill's band shaped by Bill, not by Scott LaFaro.

[@thelonious-dx9vi]

@@malchristie I don't know, it just would have been nice. I actually didn't realize it was that long in-between, but certainly I get that it was Bill's band. And it's not unfair to say that Scotty was impactful in terms of the bass's role in Bill's trio format.

[@malchristie]

@@thelonious-dx9vi yea, I hear what you’re saying. Scott La Faro set the standard & helped make that trio incredible. He was a major part of Bill Evans best trio by far. I guess I’m saying that there was a lot of time & about 4 - 5 other bass players between Scott’s death & Eddie playing with Bill. But, yes, actually, come to think of it, it would have been nice to hear what Eddie had to say about Scott La Faro & that trio’s work!

[@thelonious-dx9vi]

@@malchristie your comment got me to thinking. I've been unfair to Bill. I need to give him more time generally and, more specifically, to manage my own reflexive leaning toward the Riversides. I'm not sure why, I never went for the myth that his later work is any less valuable. But I still instinctively tend to reach for one of a certain handful of the records ... you know the ones ;). I have 'em all, I love Bill and I'll do better.

[@malchristie]

@@thelonious-dx9vi don’t be too hard on yourself! We all need to do better! But I was was exactly the same until I heard ‘How my heart sings’ which has some brilliant songs on it. I’m now starting to explore his last trio which by all accounts was sensational. It’s all good & it’s a great journey that we’re all on!

[@charleswinokoor6023]

Difficult to hear.

[@SuburbanDon]

Great bassist. Terrible speaker.

[@hansis]

really? he's not so bad imo

[@SuburbanDon]

Maybe I was just hoping for more. It seemed like he would never get to the point.

[@SuburbanDon]

Alain James your response is emotional and childish. No need for that response but I expected something to happen. I wasn't nasty at all in my opinion.

[@halnms62]

He lived his dream, but still his life went on. His feelings for Evans are probably deep, personal and complicated given the fact that Evans slowly self destructed. Thank goodness he’s not a roaring extrovert trying to get attention on a dead man’s bones.

[@rillloudmother]

@@halnms62 agreed, there are far too many attention seekers.

[@BernieHollandMusic]

This is so boring - I'm outta here

You're not a musician.
